I assume you're comparing x86_64 vs. i686 targets. AMD vs Intel is irrelevant
as both companies make chips supporting both architectures.

You should evaluate which target is most suitable for running the programs you
are compiling. Do you really want to base your decision on 0.25% of a
compiler testsuite?
